Sencha
Sencha “Maruyama”
Maruyama means “circle mountain” and refers to a pleasant, hilly park area in Kyoto. This excellent Sencha is made of young tea buds picked during the first harvest of the year. With a sweet flavour and a pungent aroma, we hope you delight in the experience this tea brings. Similar to Hachiju-Hachiya Sencha, brew with water of about 70 degrees celsius.
